This audio CD and book set provides an introduction to Hangul as well as guides to many of the terms used during Korean martial arts classes. Terms are spoken in English by an English-speaker, followed by the same term spoken in Korean, twice, by a Korean-speaker. New students will benefit from learning some of the language and terminology in advance, enabling them to more quickly understand instructions during class. Additionally, instructors may benefit by being able to refine their pronunciations. The Hangul overview in the CD companion book is designed to help Korean language learners to better understand the written language.
